Guild Wars 2

I apologise if this question has been posed before; I’m certain I’ve read about it in passing here in the forums ages ago, but I can’t find the topic now that I’m actually searching for it.

My question is: If a necromancer transfers conditions back to their original caster, whose attributes are used to calculate those conditions’ damage and duration?

Example case:
Necromancer versus Guardian. Guardian is running high condition-damage gear (let’s say rabid) and places 10 stacks of burning onto the necromancer. The necromancer, who is running power gear (let’s say berserker) uses Plague Signet to transfer those stacks of burning back onto the Guardian. If the burn damage scales from the original caster, it’ll be many times more potent than if it scales from the necromancer’s berserker stats.

Has anyone tested this or know for sure? I asked the wonderful folks over at mapchat, har har, and yeah. A whole lot of opinions and conjecture and not much else.

The original caster will get his scaling of condition damage, if you get my saying. There are countless amount of times where I try to burst a necro with a condi overload on my engi, only for it to backfire due to their plague signet and clearly the condition damage is from myself (Or so I think)

I’d test out this theory to be sure when I get home from work if confirmation hasn’t arrived yet

It should scale from the stats of the person who created it.

It almost every case it scales with the person who created it.

The one exception to this rule is necros epidemic skill. This takes the conditions on the foe and creates new conditions on all surrounding foes. Since these are technically new conditions they use the necros condition damage.
